If you don’t abide by a set of beliefs, then you are not a follower of those beliefs.
I’m not a Scotsman because I’m not from Scotland.
Similarly, I don’t think most libertarians are true libertarians because they don’t care about liberties except their own. And if that’s the definition of libertarian, then everyone is a libertarian.

I legit wish Infinite would be treated like a fan made game and ignored so they can make a Halo 6 that concludes the Promethean saga.

I’ve still been able to get CDs of everything I’ve wanted. One I bought this year on Amazon even gave me a free digital key, so I didn’t even have to rip it.
I think people just don’t like CDs as much.

But also, I get the idea of selling to other markets for cheap for a little extra profit. There’s a difference between profit based on cost of production and profit based on the development of the product. Same as with medicine costs. Not sure how that’s Amazon’s fault though, considering it’s Marketplace.

A glass of water with 1% shit in it is almost entirely water. But it’s still shit water.

XII still had the ATB, but you could move freely in the environment and all enemies were already there. So no more random battles.
XV was the first mainline Final Fantasy with active battles. But games like Crisis Core, Dirge of Cerberus, and Lightning Returns had it earlier.

It’s the only other game consistently talked about as being the best in the series along with VII.
It sucks that the delay caused him to quit. But also, I’m glad it got delayed if it meant that we got the final product that we did.
Omega@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Square Enix acknowledges Expedition 33 success as inspiration for next Final Fantasy as turn-based is still beloved by gamersEnglish21·18 days agoXIII and XIII-2 were both standard turn based. It just had stacked ATB gauges. But it was still standard menu battling.
I’d argue XII was turn based too, it just let you move while the ATB gauge filled.
Final Fantasy Dimensions and World of Final Fantasy exist too. But people forget those.
Omega@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Square Enix acknowledges Expedition 33 success as inspiration for next Final Fantasy as turn-based is still beloved by gamersEnglish31·18 days agoI’ve loved most of the Final Fantasy games. But the PS1 games (the golden era) were the worst about this.
Pre-PS1 typically required more thought. You had to balance magic use, item use, and of course melee. But even then you had to debate whether to spend a turn reviving your healer or try to get the victory before a team wipe.
Post PS1 you had X’s rock paper scissors battle. You had to figure out who could attack who. It wasn’t too complicated but it forced variety.
XII streamlined the auto attacking and allowed you to focus on the exceptions (enemy weak against fire, use silence, cure). That could be automated too, but I liked to handle that myself.
XIII & XIII-2 forced you to balance your jobs/classes constantly in battle.
Lightning Returna, XV, and XVI were real time.
Tactics was PS1, but it definitely required more than just attack.
The PS1 games, for the most part, could be dominated with “press X”. Most of the strategy took place outside of battle.
